She's 71 years for heaven's sake! I was with a dad of 60 years, he was looking frantically for the phone with him inside his pocket
If she has bad memory, the more reason she should have returned it immediately before continuing her work. She has no excuse, all these things were considered before she was asked to go.

She should have handed it immediately or told her supervisor. Using forgetfulness is too convenient
Yeah, she tried to do like the average Nigerian that will receive transfer made in error and then keep quite waiting for the money to be forgotten instead of informing the bank. Or the fellow that wrote on this forum few days ago of receiving double salary and wondering what to do. Wise people told him to inform his employer immediately while others told him to spend the money. Ofcourse when the error is discovered through accounting auditing (in this mamas case Cctv audit) it will be too late to make amends as it shows a fraudulent character.

This situation is deeply unfortunate and highlights a broader issue around fairness and empathy in the workplace. Janet Damiro made an honest mistake, not a malicious act. After years of dedicated service, dismissing her over a forgotten bracelet seems harsh and lacking in compassion especially for an elderly worker nearing retirement. The narrative being spun online ignores the context and humanity of the situation. It’s crucial we advocate for fair treatment, especially for vulnerable workers who have given so much with so little recognition

Obviously they didn't like the woman but couldn't terminate her legally so they devised a way to do it which is put the bracelet there and am sure they had camera on her in case she denies it. The camera caught her taking it and the trap worked. Now if she was honest she would have walked out of the trap. Being honest required her to report it immediately and ask what she should do with it. She would have avoided the trap.

Why is a 71 year old working? Her children should be ashamed not granting interviews.

The issue here is that the school has been planning to dispense with her services but they needed an excuse to do it cos if the sacked her outrightly without cause she could bring a legal action against them for wrongful termination.

I don't even understand why a woman who has been in the UK for over 40 years is still working as a cleaner?! huh
My thought as well

UK people don't build houses in Lekki. They are the poorest of all diasporans.

As usual and expected l see a lot of people who have never stepped into the UK or worked in their system making a lot of comments here.

The simple truth is that people of colour will always be treated differently (poorly) compared to the white citizens. Would they have summarily dismissed the woman if she were to be white? The answer is No!

A lot of blacks are undergoing this type of treatment in UK.

Racism and discrimination can never end in the Europe. Let's not deceive ourselves...
Not worse than what different tribes do to each other in Nigeria.

Fulani Herdsmen or bandits rampaging all over the Middle Belt, wiping out entire villages.

Igbo people beaten and killed for trying to vote in Lagos and the far North.

That's in addition to the privations of living in Nigeria, the Poverty Capital of the World.

That woman even as a cleaner is living a better life than 99% of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

I remember long time ago, I took the office extension cord home because it always went missing whenever I forgot to hand it over to the security for safekeeping. That particular day, I mistakenly took it home, and that was when Satan started ministering to me not to return it to the office. But something struck me — a strong conviction — to take it back. I got home that Friday and refused to remove it from my bag until Monday when I resumed work, even though the extension at home was faulty. It was only after I returned it the following Monday that I felt at peace.

Satan is a bastard

It's well. I pray today Sunday that the Almighty God show her mercy and vindicate her in Jesus' Name.
I don't believe she kept that thing intentionally!

In all honesty, she didn't do right. Anyone saying same thing or similar thing to yours are biased and not being truthful or honest. Let's stop deceiving ourselves

Canadians are better than those in the UK. The best a UK diasporan can build is a bungalow in Ikotun or Igando.

That sh#t had no business in her bag/wallet in the first place. Guess she held onto it hoping that eventually nobody would come looking for it - after all, they they say that possession is nine-tenths of the law

Saying she forgot is not true and very deceitful.
Was it found on her before she said she forgot? Was her house raided? She willingly brought it back when they asked her. It's possible she forgot. If she had an intention of stealing it, she'd never have returned it cos she had safely taken it home without being caught. If she thought of the harsh consequences, she'd never have returned it worst case she'd have thrown it away. Think about that. She's a woman of a sound mind, mind you. Nobody coerced or pressure her into returning the bracelet.
Re: ‘An Innocent Mistake,’ Family Defends Nigerian Grandmother Sacked By UK Varsity by Esesuwa8: 7:24pm On Jun 08, 2025
I think she forgot, considering her age.
Re: ‘An Innocent Mistake,’ Family Defends Nigerian Grandmother Sacked By UK Varsity by DJInfluence: 7:34pm On Jun 08, 2025
Wait, rewind! 71 years old. She should be a pensioner why was she still working?
Was that a full time or a mini/part job? If mini job, then I can understand why she was still working at that age because by law, she shouldn't.

Yes that's true for a 71 year old!

Have you ever seen a cleaner of such age in Nigeria? How do you treat them?

You have to consider many scenarios before jumping to conclusions

Every organization has a "lost and found" section in the Security department. There is no excuse for what she did. It is theft by all definitions. She is not in Nigeria where people excuse all manners of malfeasance.
